Chapter 470: The Rise of 5th Hegemon - The White Serpent Empire!!!
Kai stared at the Tales of Beedle the Bard in his hands and grinned.
"You think it will make things easier?" the Samurai asked.
Kai's grin died a cruel death.
"These Characters you told me about," Samurai Jack said, standing up, thoughtful, "have you explored their limits in full?"
"What do you mean?"
"Come outside."
The master and the student walked out of the Hut and faced each other.
"Take out this Petyr and Cersei," Jack said.
With a puff, both Characters walked out, their eyes narrowing at their surroundings.
"Can you two fight?" the Samurai asked the Characters.
Now, even Kai's eyes narrowed.
"Cersei can," he answered for them, "using the Shadows as the base. Without any magical assistance, they both behave as ordinary…"
Kai suddenly paused.
He felt an odd sensation ringing within his words.
Jack looked at him and worded out the worry in Kai's heart. "An assumption?"
Kai's heart skipped a beat.
"If they behave as ordinary beings of flesh and blood," the Samurai said, putting his hands behind his back, "then they can be trained like flesh and blood as well. Have you ever wondered this before?"
Kai's mouth became a thin line.
He shook his head.
"What do you think?" Jack asked, staring into the Characters' eyes.
"Whatever he wants and needs," Cersei said, her shadow armor exploding out of the jewel on her forehead, "I am willing of achieving that."
Petyr slyly rubbed his hands. "I don't mind remaining an ordinary being of flesh and blood…"
"Give him your swords," Jack said, interrupting Littlefinger. "This one is born to wield them, I can tell."
Petyr's sly smile got buried ten meters under the earth.
Kai hurled Murasame and Sounga toward Petyr, who reluctantly snatched them out of air.
"If you can kill me," Jack said, stepping toward them all, "then the Task will be considered passed."
Kai and Cersei's eyes stirred.
Petyr grounded his teeth.
And the fight began.
Booom!!!

D-Mail…
D-Mail…..
D-MAILLLLLLL!!!!
When Kai had spent two hundred years on Island X, becoming the 5th Hegemon, his true age was only 27 because of the Life Halt Capsules.
In the 201st year, the Death Eaters began using Time Turners!
The almost unconquerable and infallible ACT finally met a wall.
This wall was so big that no matter how much D-Mail banged its head on it, nothing happened.
Problem: Ambushed while exploring the Island?
Solution: D-Mail.
Death Eaters: Nope!!!
What Kai undid using D-Mail, the Commanders began undoing Kai's undoings using Time Turners.
A hideous stalemate birthed between the False One and the Apocalypse Alliance that lasted for a hundred years.
It lasted long enough for both D-Mail and Time Turners to become completely useless.
However, the Tales of Beedle the Bard just didn't have absurd ACTs.
With the Samurai's suggestion, Kai had begun exploring even greater depths.
Kai had always been a loner, but it didn't mean he didn't know the value of subjects.
Petyr Baelish not only granted him the use of Titan's Buff, letting Kai raise his certain Attributes, but he was also a grand schemer.
And now, with Kai's Twin-Saber Style, a sharp threat to behold.
Then there was Cersei Lannister, infamously known among the Apocalypse Alliance as the Shadow Queen.
Wherever Kai had gone in this last century, the Characters had been there first.
With Petyr wielding his swords and armor and Cersei in the cloak of shadows, they had transcended their mortal shells, their raw power rivaling 5th-floor Contestants.
In last was the insane scientist, Rintaro Okabe.
It was he who surprised Kai the most.
Since his resurrection in the Harry Potter Random World, the mad scientist had been working on creating a brand new field—Mana Engineering.
It wasn't going anywhere in the beginning.
One must not forget that Rintaro was just a human and he hadn't even contacted Magic before Kai had devoured his tale.
Creating a new field?!
These things took time; a lot of time; years, decades, and centuries, in fact.
So, Kai had never even thought of questioning Rintaro about it before the 3rd Stage. Being a scientist himself, he also had the patience of one.
However, on Island X, both Rintaro and Kai had time. Lots of time.
First, Kai infiltrated the headquarters of the Star Beast Brotherhood and stole quite a few high-tech equipments.
Then, he and Rintaro began experimenting on the abominations (-human + magical creatures-) that never stopped coming after Kai.
After decades of research, they began working on manufacturing Bio-weapons of mass destruction, which used Mana as fuel.
With Kai's brilliant mind, and aided by Selene and the Characters, by the time the 3rd Century ended, a new Army had risen on Island X.

Near the west coastline of Island X, due North-East of Cloudbreak Spire of the Apocalypse Alliance stood a white tower.
Though not as tall as the Cloudbreak Spire, there was an uncanny charm about it.
Its walls were etched into the shape of serpent scales, and on its top, a white serpent reared, hissing out all onlookers with its bare fangs.
50000 level 1, 10000 level 2, and 50 level 3 Reanimated Corpses decorated the surroundings of the Tower.
Most of these undead were Xenomorphs, a force that none wanted to see coming alive after being killed once. After their numbers, came Pokemon, Yautja, humans, and wizards.
At last, were magical creatures from Death Eaters' camp. Even they were in thousands.
Kai had killed a lot in these last 150 years and most of them ended up becoming undead.
But if it was only this, it wouldn't have been worth mentioning.
All the undead, even the Pokemon, were cladded in advance armor.
Some were carrying large barrels and some were wielding Mana-engineered Swords, which burst out with moves, depending upon the magical creatures and processes used to manufacture them.
Not only them, but the entire Tower was a colossal piece of Mana Weapon, equipped with thousands of weapons.
This Tower was the White Serpent Tower…
… the stronghold of the 5th Hegemon of the Island X—
— The White Serpent Empire!!!
